Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want generic reload actions may hit a wall when each gun requires handling based on its real-world counterpart.
- Players seeking a purely solo experience may find the cooperative roles less relevant, despite the available solo VR mode.
- Players without VR equipment or a mouse-and-keyboard partner cannot use the listed asymmetric setup.
Our take on Containment Initiative 2
The bounce point arrives at the weapon-handling system: each gun follows its own real-world operation and reloading pattern, so players expecting one generic reload action may stop there. The asymmetric setup is another hurdle for anyone without a VR player and a mouse-and-keyboard partner.
What is Containment Initiative 2?
Containment Initiative 2 is a local asymmetric cooperative VR shooter for two people on one PC, with one player in VR and the other using a mouse and keyboard.
A solo VR mode is also available. Players explore and scavenge while fighting zombies, collecting loot, weapons, and attachments. Each gun uses handling and reloading based on its real-world counterpart, making reload precision part of survival. Both player roles have progression through unlockable guns, attachments, player upgrades, and other additions. Cooperative play can take place on the same PC or through Steam Remote Play Together with someone from a Steam friends list.
